Oh well.
Yeah, and if we invested it in vineyards we'd have a world beating wine industry...

This isn't really a very strong argument. The two things aren't incompatible, you know (energy efficiency and a mix of renewable / continuous sources)... we need proper energy, transport and planning policies that deal with the realities of climate change.
